  I've met people in bars over the years but it
  wouldn't be my 1st choice.
  However if your middle aged, working and have a
  busy life, it's tough to meet "quality" people from
  the oposite sex...
  That's why online dating has become sooo big..

  Unknownblogger you are right nothing good comes out of meeting someone in a bar sometimes. I have heard a few successful stories but they are more bad stories than good stories out there.
   
  I personally don't think to look for a partner in a bar. If I go to a bar its to spend a good time with friends But not to find or actively search for partner. I think now a days like slirpuff said people are going online to find potential partners. It seems to be alot easier and you do it at your own time.

  Not that anecdotal evidence means anything, but. . .
  
  A cousin of mine met his wife in a bar when they were in college and they've been happily married for almost 40 years and have raised two happy, productive, and successful children.
  
  *shrug*  YMMV.

  If you go to the meet/meat market, all you will find is meat.

   

  I've known this since forever.

  unknown, is that a generalization?
  
  You said "...WORST POSSIBLE PLACE you can meet someone who is actually trustworthy."  Trustworthy in what sense?

• unknownblogger said on Sep 19, 2007....

  lioness, that not generalization... that's my opinion that bar is the worst posible place to look for a partners... ( if your looking for a decent partner )... like what ladygamer said, you can only find meat in the meat market...
   
  Athought, their are some who successfully found a partners their in the bar, like what eilan and leadoffkarma said... there is indeed but very few...
   
  Bar is a good place to spend your time (if your looking for fun) and partners (if your looking for a sex partners or a one night stand sex mate)...

  It's not the best choice to meet someone in a bar. A few years ago, I tried but the result is not very good. So I tried Internet dating, which is more easy to search someone and meet someone. At last, I got my lover at MillionaireCupid.com.

• unknownblogger said on Sep 19, 2007....

  Hhmm, I still never tried internet dating... Anyone out there who want to try internet dating with me??? lol

• Lioness said on Sep 19, 2007....

  Ok, I get your point unknown, I have not tried "looking" in bars, and I am kinda curious. What makes bars so distinct from any other place? I mean if you chanced to have met someone interesting in a bar, would you immediately conclude that she is NOT a girlfriend material? How does it differ from meeting someone in a social function, or in a market, or in a mall?  c",L*

• secretlife said on Sep 19, 2007....

  lol...i met my husband in a bar---25 yrs ago.
  maybe it depends on the bar?

• unknownblogger said on Sep 19, 2007....

  My dear lioness, bar is a place where people used to go when they want to have fun and enjoy life, a place to go wild and forget it tomorrow... a place to look for a one night stand relationship... Get my point lioness???

  He also met you there secret... It depends on the people you met... And their intention when they go there...

• Lioness said on Sep 19, 2007....

  Yeah, I get you. It has something to do with the place, not the people. Oh well, I guess it would be safe to go on gay bars. LOL

  Where else can you go to meet people but a bar?  There arnt very many places for adults to socialize.  The grocery store?  I dont want to meet a man at the grocery store.  Work?  I dont think so...now i dont know about anyone else but those are about the only three places i frequent.  Im not being a smart ass but really where else do you go to meet people? 

• gingersoul said on Sep 20, 2007....

  Unknown.....I totally disagree........i met my ex husband on the dance floor of a club .......we got married after 2 years. Long marriage. Divorce. 

  Then...he got "lucky" (if we can say so) again...he met his present second wife in a bar. They got married after one year. Still married with a baby.

  Before him, I met my ex boyfriend at one bar on the beach. We have been together for 5 years.

  It must be something in the drink.....

  About online dating...yep, i tried that too...i found myself several dates and a boyfriend even though only for 6 months....

   

• unknownblogger said on Sep 20, 2007....

  Starchini, they say that it is easy to try looking for partners at internet dating... But I still haven't try it so I don't want to recommend it, unless I've already tried it...

  Hey ginger, Haven't read my comment on eilan and leadoffkarma? I already commented that although,their are some who successfully found their mate in a bar, but it is quite few...

• starchini said on Sep 20, 2007....

  unknown...so where else besides a bar and internet dating? I dont want to join a club. Seems hopeless to me.

• unknownblogger said on Sep 20, 2007....

  Try looking on some social gathering such as friend's birthday party, reunion or christmas party...
